Former Saint John Liberal M-P Paul Zed isn’t closing the door on another run at federal politics — but — he’s not ready to commit just yet — even — with a boost from federal leader Michael Ignatieff. Ignatieff told a Liberal breakfast this morning he wants Zed back in the House of Commons as an M-P — but — Zed tells CHSJ News he’s not ready to make a decision just yet — he says he has family commitments and is working to re-establish his law practice.Zed stepped down as Ignatieff’s chief of staff earlier this week igniting speculation he was about to announce his bid to return to elected life — the federal liberal leader spoke to over 200-party faithful at Lily Lake this morning — over the noon hour he speaks to a Board of Trade luncheon.
